Let’s blend the simple joy of coffee with the art of painting. In this relaxing
beginner’s oil workshop, we’ll explore how to see like an artist, discovering the
play of light, shadow, and reflection while painting your own coffee cup still life.
As a self-taught artist, I used to be intimidated by oils until I learned how
beautifully forgiving and blendable they are. Now I can’t imagine painting without
them! I’ll guide you step-by-step through my process, showing how to mix values,
layer creamy color, and build confidence with this rich, tactile medium.
I’ll provide the visuals for the coffee cup setup, but if you feel inspired to bring
your most beloved mug or cup, I encourage that kind of creative fearlessness.
Sometimes the objects we love most hold the best stories to paint.
By the end of class, you’ll not only leave with a finished painting but also a new
perspective on what’s possible when you let go of fear and create freely.
